"I played competitive cricket on Saturdays with about six guys from school (a fairly middle-of-the-road private school). The other seven came from a neighboring private school, and these fellas were completely loaded. The coach's son, Josh, was used to getting whatever he wanted. His dad bought him a brand new gaming PC, though this was in 2005, so it was not what we're used to seeing today. However, his dad told him he needed to save for the monitor."
"Of course, Josh thought his dad would cave and buy him one. We're at cricket training, and Josh and his dad have a very heated argument about getting a monitor on the way home. Josh absolutely loses his shit, screaming at his dad. He then picks up a cricket ball and whips it straight at his dad's head. Josh is 17 and has a hell of an arm. And for anyone who hasn't held a cricket ball, they're a lot heavier and harder than a baseball. Josh's dad spent four days in the hospital, and Josh never got to use his brand-new high-end gaming PC."
A group of competitive Saturday cricketers included six boys from one private school and seven from a neighboring, wealthier private school. The coach's son, Josh, received a brand-new gaming PC in 2005, but his father told him to save for the monitor. After a heated argument about buying the monitor following cricket training, 17-year-old Josh screamed at his father, picked up a cricket ball and threw it at his father's head. Cricket balls are notably heavier and harder than baseballs. The father spent four days in the hospital, and Josh never used the new PC.
